About Me

We are a homeschooling, life loving family of 7. John and Josh are twins. John makes friends easily and can't stand still. Joshua loves to help and build things.
Jeffrey is independent and happy go lucky.
Sarah is a happy little girl who loves to play dress up and her brothers love to tease her all the time.
In between Jeffrey and Sarah, was Josiah who didn't get to see our faces, but who we will see when Jesus comes.
Our newest addition is Christina who loves to get into everything, dance and sing, and is learning to talk, though most of it is still unintelligible. But she is the cutest little pixie!
Mommy, that's me. I am a stay at home mom, with a Bachelors in Health. I'm homeschooling the kids and trying to keep up with the house and laundry, never ending process, while running my health business.
Daddy, Victor. Works hard for a furniture company as a truck driver, currently driving long hours across the country and coming home just to see us on Sabbath.

Health and learning.

I have been trying to homeschool my kids and lately we've been taking a bit of a break because Victors grandmother is moving, so we have been helping her sort and get rid of items. Also, we have been trying to sort some of our things so that we are less cluttered.

One of the challenges for me as a homeschooling mom is my own addiction to the internet. Especially Facebook and all the unnecessary reading that is put before me. I often have trouble breaking away from my iPad to do what needs to be done, and spend time with my kids. I hate that I am selfish and lazy and would rather go the easy route in most things.

On top of that, I am taking a Bible health class via phone, which is very interesting and fun. The downside to that is I am learning so much that I need to change in my life and want to be able to share it all with my family right now. Overwhelming, sometimes, since I have a tendency to want to do it all at once and then get discouraged, because I can't. I have to remember to take it one step at a time, one moment at a time.

So today, we are going to get started back into a schooling mindset. We had our worship and then walked to the park and back. That's P.E. Then we did some history and science, followed by art and music, and English. Now it's time for home ec and lunch.

Sarah isn't feeling well so she is napping off and on in my lap which makes doing anything difficult, but we'll get it done.
